I know I’m going to be called a shill for this, but anyway:
Earlier today some dude posted a review by wheelsboy for the Avatr 12 sedan. It was immediately downvoted to shit. And it wasn’t a bad review! It was in depth, it was fun, the guy did an overview of the product and showed us how it drove. It wasn’t some low quality thing!
If this was just a random thing, then whatever; odd stuff sometimes from time to time. But this is a reoccuring issue when it comes to Chinese (and even some Euro!) brands and models, or news, or manufacturers
Look, I get it; you don’t like China. I’m not super keen on every aspect of their society myself. But jesus; if you don’t like something, just look away. Stop trying to drown out EV news from the largest EV market in the whole damn world. If you want that, make your own subreddit that’s just about american EVs and remain blissfully unaware of what Stellantis or Geely or whoever the hell is doing. But don’t ruin it for the rest of us!
What’s the ratio, Kenneth?
Frequency reference?
…so funny, it hertz.
Sorry, thought it was the song: Whats The Frequency Kenneth by REM
It was, punned up.
Chinese vehicles are a threat to the EU, the US, Canada, and Australia. I get that the Asians have it going for them, but I’m tired of seeing news from China. I don’t care about what the commies do.
Hi, I’m a Rivian owner and I’m equally as frustrated by all the Europeans that flood truck / SUV threads saying EVs should be limited to bikes and small cars and nobody actually needs 200-300+ miles of range.
Maybe instead of pointing fingers let’s just all stop shitting on EVs that don’t fit our specific use cases?
My god I hate everything about your useless American excuses in that comment t as an American
I live in america and I agree with you.
Here everybody wants a gazillion mile range and 6 rows of seating and ability to tow their house behind it. Because they love driving, being in the car for hours on end, even days. They want a home on wheels…
But it’s not entirely their fault. There’s absolutely no public transport. Did you know that between the biggest cities in Texas there’s no public transportation to speak of? There is one train a day between Dallas (3rd largest city) and Austin (capital and 4rth largest).
Can you imagine 1 train a day between major cities in Europe?
Can you imagine if the hundreds of billions spent on subsidizing EV’s for wealthy people was spent on transit?
imagine all the good texas is doing with their oil money.
The city need video on this is pretty telling and doesn’t even get in to the infrastructure bill
My god, it’s not enough that you anti-car “urbanists” are preaching all over the rest of reddit, you have to do it on car subs too?
China has better EVs available anyways lol
I hope they’re successful in making ev’s. I don’t want any company to be the only company making electric cars. Otherwise that’s going against the success of electric cars. We need more options if we are going to take over gas cars. To want one company to make the only electric car is to be against the whole ev movement. Thats what is wrong with die hard fanboys. They’re an embarrassment. Variety is necessary if we’re going to take over oil.
Actually this is an American website
Pretty sure there’s a few EU centric EV subreddits too….
But this sub is called “electricvehicles”, so that’s why people from around the world go. They don’t know the American perspective should be the default one, here.
If this sub had a clear description like “if you’re European, please go to this sub…”, then your comment would be more valid.
If you feel that non-Americans should not be allowed to comment on things like that, this should be at least written in the description of the sub.
The sub also likes to shit on anything that’s not a car.
Electric bicycles, motorcycles, boats, and aircraft are all subject to obtuse downvoting!
Look, they’re even downvoting me for talking about it! LOL
Come and see the violence inherent in the system! Help! Help! I’m being repressed!
Like half the users of this site are Americans, of course a lot of them downvote stuff they don’t give a shit about🤣
Of course, I understand it as an European as well. Other parts of the world (other than USA) are minority here. Which doesn’t mean it’s pleasant, when you see article about a car that is only in EU, and in the article section you expect to read about the car, but instead top voted comments are “Why this car is not avaialble in US”.
So please just give us a right to complain once for a while :)
Ok, where did I leave my popcorn?
Or people just have differing opinions and may not have liked the video.
You’re the one making assumptions here.
Who hurt you?
Calm down… this sub hates all EVs, not just your favorite.
If I’m ever having too good a day I hop on in here and post that I can’t wait until someone finally releases an EV SUV.
Pure evil!
Has nothing to do with China, has everything to do with a people shilling their YouTube channels when this is a text based forum with plenty of character space for a review. It’s not just here it’s all over Reddit, if I wanted YouTube reviews I’d go there.
lol bullshit. I never see Doug DeMuro’s reviews get down voted.
Yep, I downvote every youtube post in every subreddit I’m subscribed to. YouTubers, go away.
The only right answer
Why, isn’t video the right medium for some topics, like for example car reviews ?
While I wholeheartedly agree, I actually find it less prominent here than in most other Reddit communities, then again Reddit at large is basically sinophohia and western chauvinism with a fedora.
